Hi; Unfortunately no experience with the cushcraft but a company in Canada is making an updated version of the old miniquad which was out in the 1980s. That antenna worked well for its size but wasn't very durable. Supposedly the durability issues have been addressed. check out http://www3.sympatico.ca/tgmc/ ----- Original Message ----- From: "andrew shipp" <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Friday, August 24, 2007 8:31 AM Subject: Cushcraft mini beem Hi All, Asking about the Cushcraft malty mini beam, does anyone on the group have experience of this type of beam? how good are they? what is the S W R you've got using this type? I have a very small garden size 17feet 6inches wide and 35feet long so this why I'm looking at one of these. Regards Andy Shipp & Trafford my new best friend. Located Northampton Northamptonshire UK.
